UPDATE JUNE 1, 2009 --- THE OPENING DAY OF HURRICANE SEASON ...

Ta da ... yeah, TEFFY'S overworked, relaxing, zooming pas de deux or more ... among these gifts & prizes with enjoyment in the cool rainy air.

WELCOME TO MY COLLECTION .. EDITING IS IN PROGRESS ....

Thanx for stopping up the house, my dears.

On PC today ... how hateful, a poky mess-around which I despise ... sorry my fault. Not a dame to spend umpteen bucks upgrading equip. stats on ... COSTLY whatever carriers or PC's steal my soul today. Or relax ..let these well wishes below ...float my boat.

Truth be told? My dedication is to my writing. Secondly, shall share the long mile of serious ken for publication via random author-to-author hints as they are harnessed in ordinary time. WHY? Just in case you can make use of same.

For that sharing please see: ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **

For placing first in 500-Words-Group Challenge, in December 2008. Congratulations!

With her memo ...

"For placing First in 500 Words Group Challenge in Dec 2008. Congratulations!"

A the time, my blog: JUNE BUGS & ELDERBERRY WINE
wrote for Earl's 31- DAY JOURNAL CHALLENGE.

Although fellow website contestants in the blog contest, listed on our wc community, commented on JUNEBUGS with high compliments ... my standards for my blog provided stimutlation to win. Fabulous remarks came my way. With signs of addiction (which all writers dream of hearing from readers) my mood concentrated. Alas, fifth place remains mine to keep. Amid this winter interim, I watched fellow entrant bloggers who were black cases ... go yellow. However, I received another merit badge from writing.com staff for reviewing.

In Jan -- the same contest went year round. Personally, advise against a year long challenge. Monthly or weekly are easier to carry off especially if via forum posts & prompts from all competing bloggers.

At the time ... DEC's challenge for 2008 was scheduled for 31 days of blogging.

HEY, READERS, HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY

Welcome to this trophy room.

Joining WC in Oct, 2004, Miss Teff achieved much friendship and generous gifts and recognition over the years. Sometimes being prolific is plain work but since writing is fun for me the time is well spent.

Thanks to all gifters.

It used to be on PRP, Public Review Page, qualified reviewers were able, allowed and many often made use of typing in their merit badge ID's. This wonderful means of recognition drops from PRP sometime post summer 2006. Things change, technical things ... sure not necessarily wrong, just sad in a way. Maybe like cell phones. Used to be shoppers talked to each other. But we became a society which regulates our conversations these days.

However, the way of the merit badge lives on in other places, of course. We receive merit badges we cannot use seems to me to be a sad, gotcha, sorry. Instead, sometimes on PRP I simply type in "TEFF'S MERIT BADGESOpen in new Window.

So here they are. Thank you. By posting this item, Teff can now refer to these badges. I love every single one of them.

Believe it or not, the makers of the next two, I lost your names. If you recognize your work below, please send me an e-mail but thanks very much all the same.

If you're a writer of true blue writing ken & talent then you may be an extrovert from the actual time you get up until you sleep at night. If so, please brag on! This is your well earned right. Our hard work rights. Plus the things are quite expensive, but a little like mini tributes. So many times, I miss seeing these on PRP from others. If pictures & logos are there, these are certainly just as worthy to add to reviews.
